This page lists examples of one type of apparent dream ESP: prediction, precognition, and prophetic dreams. I'm proposing no models or explanations here--just presenting dreams that seem to predict the future. They speak for themselves.

The only aspect I'll discuss here is one believers and skeptics alike all face: if we can dream of the future, why don't we do so clearly, and prevent disasters when we wake? Why's it so inconsistent?

Clear warnings do come now and then (for the sake of my argument let's ignore whether they occur often enough to mean anything statistically); Sally Rhine Feather's book The Gift studies over 400 of them detailed enough to be useful. Yet shockingly few got acted on--only one-third! Why? Fear of mockery, a distaste for the irrational, uncertainty, and simple lack of opportunity (how do you halt a scheduled plane flight?) But when warnings were acted on, two thirds of the time that action paid off concretely. Clear warning-dreams can save lives--if heeded! Whatever we think ESP is, it's useful. So... why so inconsistent?

What if there simply is no useful action? The Stroke is a powerful example how a psychic dream can be clear, literal and accurate, yet futile--except to prepare you for an unavoidable loss.

Another type: in one of the best-known psychic dreams on record, Ferdinand's Assassination, Bishop Lanyi dreamt he got a sort of animated postcard from his ex-student Ferdinand stating baldly "I'm going to be killed today"--and asking the bishop to pray for him. Not to warn anyone, not to save him! The prediction was detailed, showing Ferdinand's risky behavior (an open car driving narrow streets in a hostile town); Bishop Lanyi could have used it to call and urge him to change his plans. He didn't. He took the dream at face value. Rescue was not wanted. If Ferdinand knew he was going to die, he accepted it, and didn't ask to be saved. And he trusted his unworldly friend not to "save" him--except spiritually.

Is it possible this happens more often than we realize--we fail to see clearly or we fail to act because we might save "victims" who in fact embrace their deaths, need to move on? Having had hundreds of apparently predictive dreams, some indirect, symbolic and useless, others clear and useful, and some clear yet STILL useless, I advance this theory just because I can't frame any others that fit my data.

We may only have useful warning dreams if no one objects to our taking action! The rest of the time, we may be denied useful details precisely because then we might interfere. Metaphoric dreams are one solution--they prepare us emotionally without letting us meddle.

If I'm right, you'll get clear, usable dream-predictions only when you...

1. can't affect the outcome. Or...
2. can refrain from action if others object. That takes an intuitive sensitivity and restraint that's rare in our activist era! I couldn't have done what Bishop Lanyi did. Or...
3. can affect the outcome, but your meddling doesn't bother anyone much!

Objections can be emotional too. ESP can endanger a researcher's sense of integrity (who wants to be duped?), privacy (who wants to be snooped?), free will (who wants to be predicted?), even physics itself (I'm still ignoring the substance of the "how can it work" question; just pointing out here that if you think ESP threatens the integrity of science, you'll be a tense, conflicted ESP tester!) So feelings run high--whether in the lab or alone at home.

It's enough to make you give up on the whole can of worms and go back to being a skeptic--unless you've had one of those compelling, detailed dreams that feels predictive. And such dreams do have a feel. Cory, in her piece on a set of inconclusive dreams about Sudden Death mentions the sense of "outsiderness" an experienced dreamworker gradually learns to associate with such dreams. They're identifiable even if their images don't give you anything useful--either useful to convince skeptics, OR useful in helping to save a friend.

Who may not want saving.

The mere possibility dreams may sometimes be psychic complicates interpretation--already hard! Clearly many dreams are about inner situations and are metaphorical, but if some pick up external information and need to be taken more literally as warnings or prompts, how can you tell? Not easy. But I'd like to propose one sort of dream to look at as potentially psychic: dreams actually mentioning ESP in them. My own dreams mentioning telepathy often do echo what a friend is going through; dreams mentioning prediction or set in the future often do predict something. An infrequent type, but useful: let's call them self-flagging dreams.
